Reacting to Whitney Houston's Welcome Home Heroes "Song For You" LIVE

[@maninblack9271]

Leon Russel, the writer of the song, watched Whitney's performance of it and was so moved that he wrote an appreciation letter to Whitney Houston after seeing her welcome home heroes concert.

[@thabangmohahabe5616]

I'm just obsessed with her warm tone, her Voice man, her voice.

[@annavilla7041]

This is one of Whitney's greatest vocal performances.

[@jobuck879]

Whitney just had a god given talent. She knew how to use every aspect of her range with superior quality. It’s not fair to the other female artist for her to be that dang phenomenal. There are performances of her singing where you could tell she was sick but she knew exactly how to make it seem effortlessly. Let’s talk about her head voice, yeah it never left her, even at the end her head voice was angelic. There’s an audio of her singing He, I Believe in 1990 in Japan and her head voice is so piercing and resonant that it’s almost frightening. This woman, the lady, this vocalist, this icon, this legend was born to sing. The Voice.

[@isandrofrancees7377]

Amen. Well said👌🏼

[@rodneysplace687]

Whitney is untouchable. She has notes and vocal runs that are from heaven and her vibrato is God's gift to us all. Please let her climactic moments play out before you react. Then rewind it. I love how you can sing also to explain what you hear. You do a wonderful job ❤️

Its so emotional and soulful performance. She really meant it very soulful performances that she had. What a great singer who can deliver what the messege of the song and connect to the audience. ❤

[@vibey1443]

Yasss girlllll 😍 Whitney is and always will be incredible ❤

[@HouseofCouture7]

Back in the day I LITERALLY would get suspended from school for beating people up for saying something bad about Whitney. I felt like (and still do) EVERYONE knew how much I loved Whitney, so if you said something negative about her you were disrespecting me too!...so we had to fight (smh) LOL. On the flip side tho, if you liked/loved Whitney and really appreciated her, we could be the best of friends because Whitney has ALWAYS meant so much to me!...so if you loved her too we had THE most important thing in common so you MUST be cool, lol!!! I say all that to say that I LOVE your overall appreciation for Whitney!!!!!!! I can tell that you are super-cool (ya energy is DOPE)! I feel like we bout to be BFF's cuz I'm bout to watch more of your Whitney Reaction videos while I sip!!! LOL

[@Thegazelle1000]

Lol haha I got ya

[@DebbieH5731]

Never heard anything like that in my life before. It was beau - ti - full!!!!! ❤❤

[@braxxon]

❤ This is my favorite Era of Whitney it was around 8th grade for me just before the Body Guard . I had this concert on VHS tape and played the hell out of it rewinding my favorite parts and singing at the top.of my lungs . I especially love this era because for me she was all ours just before the marriage, move and baby . I know it's a bit selfish but her voice had the right amount of sharpness and depth it was at it's full maturity in my opinion . The "I'm your baby tonight "era is Golden . This concert is my favorite . Thank.you for your reaction to this .

[@ppgenterprise7950]

braxxon her voice during IYBT was velvety and rich like bodyguard but also can be bright as heck like Whitney Houston era. And her melisma and creativity during this era reminds me so much of MYIYL era Whitney. She was just an absolute BEASTTT in this era

[@violetsrayreikishop2]

She suffered a miscarriage around this time and after her marriage before an after the birth of her daughter sadly.

[@MrSoulshock44]

She didn't have to saaaaang the song like that. Damn.

[@AlexisSamone]

MrSoulshock44 right! Just showing out

[@dorothyhodge985]

Shame on her. I don't have words for that performance. It doesn't get any better.

[@kennethbrdk]

Love this performance and her ability to make you feel every word she sings - and that head voice!

[@skcchiefs8928]

I read a cool story on her main fan website. According to his wife, the late Leon Russell, the very successful musician and writer of this song, wrote directly to Whitney after listening to this performance live on HBO to express his admiration of her rendition. Apparently, the wife claimed he had never done anything like that before.

[@JordanWilliams-ix2td]

Listen, I was laying down but I literally had to stand up. Her voice lifted me from my bed 😂 She ain't have to snatch my Wig, Real hair, Edges, Scalp, eyebrows & soul like that..smh LAWD! *UNREAL!* I miss & love her so much man #THEGOAT!

[@ppcdnce2002]

I seriously could watch you react to her all day! I saw you feeling it and vocalizing with her, love it! 💜

[@vernejones3449]

I’m loving these considered reactions. One of my favourite performances is ‘In Return’. ‘The Greatest Love Of All’ at Arista Records 15th anniversary is possibly her best performance though it’s a tough call.

[@violetsrayreikishop2]

Whitney is actually crying tears here too and it's probably due to her personal life she had a few miscarriages sadly and she still would work, she sacrificed so much for the world that I couldn't imagine having to be out on stage doing shows while going through that. When people talk shit about her it lets me know they have no clue how much this beautiful angel suffered in life, she was nothing but absolute 💕 love. I'm happy to see her getting the respect and dignity she deserves and hopefully our society stop treating people like her as if she's not a human being with a life and feelings.

[@roserussellperry1719]

Donnie killed this song but Whitney took it to the heavens. Just saying!
